Re: The Brain Transplant Argument
Man that's some bad prose. Does the writer speak English? Does he have a tumor?
Clarifications needed: "numerically identical"
"just in case"
"the human animal we are identical"?
"persistence conditions"
"persistence"
They seem to be playing with the definition of persistence - basically saying that if the majority of an organism's cell continues to survive and be functional, then the "person" does too. But the leading paragraphs don't define their terms well enough to be able to critique the theory.

Do you think that BTA shows that animalism is false?

No. The whole question is so poorly written and defined that you can't respond to it.
